Writings and Publications

My writings on technology, teaching and learning are generally known for their strategic and practical value. As a regular contributor to the Syllabus Magazine (now Campus Technology) for over 15 years during the early years of online learning, many seminal topics have been revisited over the years. Also, I have had the pleasure of working with many colleagues, editing and writing publications for many higher education organizations including EDUCAUSE, SCUP, the League for Innovation and Information Science References.
